As the race to build the world’s first quantum computer is coming to an end, the race to build the quantum internet has just started. This book leverages the author’s unique insights into both the Chinese and American quantum programs. It begins with the physics and history of the quantum internet and ends with the latest results in quantum computing and quantum networks.
The Chinese quantum Sputnik moment.
The U.S. National Quantum Initiative.
What’s up with Quantum Computing Supremacy?
The Race to Build the Quantum Internet.
Where will Quantum Technology be Tomorrow?
Written by a renowned quantum physicist, this book is for everyone who is interested in the rapidly advancing field of Quantum Technology — The Second Quantum Revolution. The 2016 launch of the Chinese quantum satellite Mozi was a quantum Sputnik moment. The United States went from thinking it was ten years ahead of the Chinese to the realization that it was ten years behind them. This quantum gap led to the U.S. National Quantum Initiative, launched in 2018. Since then, the race to build the quantum internet has taken off at breakneck speed.

The quantum technology industry has seen remarkable progress in quantum computing, leading to increased attention and investment from both the public and private sectors. This growth extends to quantum communication and quantum sensing as well, offering promising breakthroughs in the near future. Integrating quantum technologies into existing optical communication networks is becoming feasible, and quantum sensors are recognized as revolutionary tools for high-precision sensing applications like metrology, imaging, positioning, and navigation. This advancement sets the stage for the Quantum Internet of Things (QIoT). However, deploying QIoT successfully requires understanding and addressing various implementation challenges. This paper introduces potential QIoT use cases and discusses the current state-of-the-art technologies and challenges from the perspective of telecom network operators.
